Niche question but I need some help. Here is likely the wrong place but idk where else.
I want to buy an ambernic handheld, specifically the sp but I cannot purchase directly because of insane shipping costs. Anyone know any Europe based resellers? Would aliexpress be an option for better prices? I need advice
Edit: ordered it from aliexpress. 76 euros.
Aliexpress is definitely the way to go. Here’s a link to spreadsheet with the best prices from legit stores: Link
(Compiled by /u/DargillaUomo over on reddit - i think he earns an affiliate cut, but they do seem to genuinely be the best prices if you’re buying new)
Oki :3
Thank you
you bet! I got really into these handheld emulators like 6 months ago, just glad my hyper-obsession could help someone else!
I’m into them too. That’s why I want a second one
Hell yeah! What’s your other one? I’m pretty content with my RGB30, personally.
An rp4 pro, very happy with it.
Ooh, that is a good price. I was going to wait to see if they did a revision to the hardware but I am tempted now.
Anbernic release so many handhelds and the price tends to come down a couple months after release. Maybe the SP will get there? I got a 35xxh a little while back from a UK eBay seller for about £40 if memory serves. On the other hand I imagine the SP has been super popular so who can say.
So I should wait? My problem is shipping, not price
imo it’s sort of like computer graphics cards. There is never one singular best time to buy because something better is always right around the corner, and prices are always fluctuating up and down. If the SP is drawing you in to buy now, then go for it! The SP already emulates every non-analog stick console perfectly (and even a couple that do have analog sticks), so it’s not like there’s any point to waiting for a more powerful device.
I want an sp, the problem is shipping costs, that’s why I asked this, but yea, Bernice makes a lot of stuff
If you happen to be based in the UK (or can get it delivered to a UK address) then I’ve had good success with droix. They appear to ship to other countries but I have no idea what the cost is like.
